If you haven't received your order as expected, here are a few helpful tips.

• Check your shipping confirmation email, this will include a tracking number and link to track delivery.
• Your tracking number may not reflect shipping updates to your package for up to 24-48 hours. This is usually because of the delay between the carrier receiving the order and them scanning it into their system.
• If there is an error with your tracking number, additional information can often be found using Global Package Tracking.

Check the USB connection

2. Unplug the USB end of your camera from your computer and plug it back in.
3. Try another USB port on your computer to see if that helps.
4. If you are running your camera through an extension or a hub, try plugging it in directly to your computer.

Good lighting is essential to get the best performance from the iContact Camera. Here are some lighting tips.

1. Use Natural Light: If possible, position your webcam setup near a window where you can take advantage of natural light. This will give your video a more balanced and flattering look. However, be mindful of the time of day and the potential for changing light conditions.
2. Avoid Backlighting: Make sure there are no strong light sources directly behind you, such as a window or a lamp, as this can make you appear silhouetted and harder to see on camera.
3. Invest in a dimmable light: Our Glow light and Light panel provide a consistent, diffused light that can greatly improve the appearance of your video.
4. Avoid dark backgrounds or the camera may adjust for them and overexpose your face.

1. Ensure Adequate Lighting: Make sure your background is well-lit so you don't appear in shadow. Avoid over-illuminating the background which can lead to a washed-out appearance.
2. Choose a Neutral or Uncluttered Background: Neutral colors work best as they don't cause color cast and white balance issues.
3. Adjust with camera settings, see below.

The iContact Camera is designed to be compatible with a wide range of screen sizes. For smaller screens, select a view with small video windows with other attendees on top. For Larger screens, place the small video windows to the left.

Flickering is often a doc or hub splitting power from one USB port to many. Plug the camera directly into your computer.

If this did not resolve the issue and you are working on a PC laptop, you may need to update power settings. Go Settings > System > Power & battery. Change Power mode to Best performance and turn off Battery saver.

Mac and PC require explicit permission for camera use and show on screen alerts when the camera is on.

For additional privacy, simply tilt the camera body up facing the ceiling or purchase a USB switch to shut power off to video and audio in the camera.

1. Check to make sure that you have an appropriate amount of lighting in the room.
2. Ensure that the HD setting is enabled for your conferencing software.
3. Some video calling apps “Disable GPU hardware acceleration”. Turn off this setting and restart the application.
4. Slower internet speeds may reduce the frame rate.
5. Many video calling apps reduce the quality of the video to make it easier to transmit.

Slide back the cover at the top of the camera. Select a notch slightly larger than your screen and replace the cover. Slide the flexible cord grip up or down to adjust mounting tension.
Here's a video showing how.

To change from USB C to A, choose this adapter. Should you want a longer cord, try this extension.

The camera is factory set to focus at the best distance from the screen. If you would like to change focus, plug-in the camera and open a video window so you actively see your video. Rotate the lens slowly clockwise 1/4 turn, monitoring focus. If the focus becomes MORE blurry after 1/4 rotation, rotate counterclockwise slowly 1/2 full turn until the camera comes into desired focus. Re-secure with lock nut. You can see a video of this here.

If you see dark images on your lens when it’s out of focus, there may be dust on the sensor. Dust can easily be removed by unscrewing the lens and cleaning the black sensor with a cotton swab. You can do this with the camera on to quickly check for success. Use rubbing alcohol or screen cleaner on the swab for more persistent dust.
